Joan Laporta launches missiles on Real Madrid over corrupt referee ‘history,’ calls their attack on Barcelona ‘nonsense’
Barcelona President says Real Madrid has involved in greater referee scandal and it is a set precedent.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta bashed rival club Real Madrid before the press conference. The Los Blancos board is probably planning to ‘be on oath’ against Barcelona in the Negreira case. The President of the Catalans side says it is ironic how a club has exploited referees and got decisions in favor and now becomes a witness in a Referee scandal.
The Barcelona president also comes before the fans to address that the club is innocent. He is confident that the prosecutors won’t find a chaff of evidence against them as there is nothing wrong. Laporta from the very beginning has said that the club could ‘never imagine’ buying referees.
The table toppers have been facing a lot of crunches recently. The Spanish team is at the top of the table but is currently facing a number of issues when it comes to the club’s administrative matters.
The Blaugranas are in an immense financial plague in this current season. Amidst the reduction of the wage bill problem, there remains the Negreira case that doesn’t seem to end anytime soon. With the Barcelona Referee scandal coming to light last year, each day there is a turn of events. While n one side of the page, Javier Tebas gave statements which are against the favour of Barcelona. On the other hand, former well-known referee Eduardo Iturralde says he ‘would put his hand on fire’ for the statement that Barcelona has never brought any referees.
What are the Evidence in the Negreira case as of now?
The allegations that Spanish Giants Barcelona has bribed Jose Maria Enrique Nagreira through his company DANIL-95 are taking new turns on a daily basis. It is said that as per the Investigating Report, a conclusion could be drawn regarding the payments the Catalonians made to the DASNIL-95. But there is no evidence that the payment was done to ‘purchase Referees’ in matches.
Although Javier Tebas has given a statement if payment made to referees has affected match results is not known to him. It is also stated that he has given false statements before the Investigating agencies by denying facts well within his knowledge. The La Liga president has reportedly given a false statement against the Table toppers as said by the Barcelona board. On the other hand, referees Juan Roca and Eduardo Iturralde submitted statements which made Barcelona clean of the Scandal. The club’s president now finds Real Madrid hierarchies might appear before the Court to depose witnesses. In future, there would be multiple turns of events that would come to light.
